cvsimport: new -R option: generate .git/cvs-revisions mapping
This option causes the creation or updating of a file mapping CVS
(filename, revision number) pairs to Git commit IDs. This is expected
to be useful if you have CVS revision numbers stored in commit messages,
bug-tracking systems, email archives, and the like.
